Thanks, Rye!

I don't mind surrealistic writing at all, but Murakami is a whole lot of surreal. With Kafka, I didn't really like/care about Kafka's character and how he randomly/for little reason thought that one girl was his sister, and I guess I was wondering WHY he had to sleep with his mother/"mother" figure, and then the whole Nakata being able to talk to cats and then he loses his ability to talk to cats, and that truck driver randomly having sex via Colonel Sanders "pimp service"...?

I will go read Norwegian Wood and read his books in the order you suggested, haha.
